A flower studio built on stubborn standards
We're four people in a Wilson workshop who think flowers deserve better than foam, wilting roses and a "we'll see how it goes" attitude.
Nine years, one workbench, zero shortcuts
Daniel Mercer started Best Zilo 24 in 2016 after years of watching florists treat flowers like an afterthought. His rule then is still the rule now: if you wouldn't put it in your own hallway, it doesn't leave the studio.
Today the studio employs two designers, a studio manager and a rotating driver roster. We still do the Saturday market run ourselves most weeks.
Kitchen table era
First orders went out in a bucket on the back seat. Daniel's mum handled invoices, his sister did deliveries on weekends.
First wedding season
Eleven weddings in one season taught us that florists and venues argue too much. Now we insist on a joint walkthrough before any big job.
The Wilson studio
Moved into a proper workshop on Fern Road. Walk-in cooler, design wall, and a coffee machine that finally works properly.
Corporate subscriptions
Office managers kept calling, so we built a weekly flower program. It now covers 30+ offices across Perth metro.
Same rules, bigger buckets
12,400+ bouquets later, the workbench is bigger and the standards aren't. That's the whole plan.
Three rules we never break
Seasonal first
We don't import out-of-season stems just to fill a photo. What you see in the studio is what Perth is actually growing this month.
Photo approval
Every bouquet gets photographed before it leaves. You see the actual flowers, not a stock image, before we hand it to a driver.
Less foam, more hands
We hand-tie where the design allows and keep plastic and foam to a minimum. The flowers should be the star, not the packaging.
Recent jobs we're still proud of
A slice of what we've made lately. Full galleries live on each service page.
Who you'll actually talk to
No account managers, no ticket queues. These are the people who pick up the phone and tie the flowers.
Daniel Mercer
The one who answers the phone, argues with venues and still does the market run most Saturdays.
Sarah Chen
Nine years of wedding seasons. If your bouquet needs to look like it cost double, she's your person.
Jake Morrison
Keeps the cooler stocked, the van fueled and the schedule from falling apart on a Saturday.
Aisha Rahman
Knows every suburb's quirks, every venue's loading dock and which front doors need a knock first.
What nine years looks like in numbers
We're not the biggest studio in Perth and we're not trying to be. These numbers are what happens when a small team stays fussy for nearly a decade.
